Guys,

Thanks for the tips and pointers.

I'm still debating 1/4 ply + glass vs 1/2" with just epoxy seal coat. My son is 100lbs and growing like a weed so I figure 1/4" alone wouldn't be strong enough but 1/2" wouold be hard to get the rocker in the front.

I guess the general concensous ,if I glass it, is to paint after with a marine paint. I understand that there is a special primer for epoxy.

In the end it won't be cheaper to build this way but father son projects are money well spent in my mind.

Jack
